The Charlotte Observer suggests that the Bobcats may be interested in Milt Palacio.

After cutting Alan Anderson, Charlotte is expected to sign a third point guard in time for Tuesday's game. In addition to Palacio, Penny Hardaway could be a possibility, the Observer suggests. Palacio's agent confirmed that he was asked last week by the Bobcats about his client's availability. Palacio couldn't make the Sonics this year as he attempted to return from microfracture surgery on his knee. Tue, Nov 28, 2006 10:52:00 AM

He couldn't beat out Mike Wilks for the third point guard job, and was trying to return from microfracture surgery on his left knee. Thu, Oct 26, 2006 04:21:00 PM

Milt Palacio said Thursday that his left knee is feeling great and healing well following microfracture surgery performed about a month ago.

Palacio becomes an unrestricted free agent in July, but he continues to rehab regularly at the Jazz's practice facility and remains open to the notion of re-signing for a second season in Utah. Sat, Jun 10, 2006 09:50:00 PM

Russell Westbrook (face) is likely to return to action as soon as Wednesday, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports.

This isn't set in stone just yet, but Westbrook is expected to play with a protective mask on Wednesday barring an unforeseen setback. We'll update his status after Wednesday's shootaround, but Westbrook's owners can feel free to slot him back into their lineups while D.J. Augustin will return to the bench.

Kevin Durant (foot) will remain sidelined for Wednesday's game vs. the 76ers, as well as Thursday's game vs. the Bulls.

The Thunder are going to be extremely cautious in bringing Durant back after his most recent setback, and he still hasn't been able to go through a full practice. We'll continue to monitor this situation closely, but for as long as Durant is sidelined, Russell Westbrook will continue to put up ridiculous stat lines, with Dion Waiters, D.J. Augustin, and Enes Kanter also seeing some increased touches on offense.

While Stevens was able to return to practice on Tuesday, he was seen clearly favoring his right hand, and it seems doubtful he'll be able to return for Wednesday's game. However, Adams will more than likely be playing limited minutes off the bench now that Enes Kanter is in town, and he's simply not going to get enough minutes to matter in most leagues. Leave him on the wire.
